The Morrison Chamber of Commerce is now accepting nominations for the Citizen of the Year Award. The winner will be honored at the Morrison Chamber of Commerce Virtual Meeting, scheduled for Thursday, February 24th, 2022.

- A person who continually volunteers his or her time, dedication and talents to the town and the citizens of the town to make Morrison a great place to live, work, play and learn.
- A person who has made a positive difference to the lives of fellow citizens.
- Someone who is dedicated to Morrison and concerned for others. They may serve on service, school, church, or community committees.
- A person who has shown a willingness to work with other Morrison residents, who is enthusiastic about the town and its citizens, and who works continually towards the betterment of the community.

In choosing the recipient, regard will be given to the nominee’s achievements in the year immediately prior to receiving the award, as well as their past achievements and ongoing contributions to the community.

The number of nominations received per nominee will bear no weight in their selection.
